I wasn't sure I would do one for Airachnid - given, that her role in the story is background at best, - but she was insistent, and I don't argue with angry spiders :)


1. Light

An interrogation room was kin to a theater stage - everything was of importance here. It wasn't just about the pain: words, sounds, even light worked together to create one perfect scene of fear and sparkbreak.

2. Dark

In Soundwave she sensed the same darkness that engulfed her mind. However, where he chose to fight it, Airachnid welcomed and embraced it.

3. First

Being Megatron's first lieutenant was nice, but it still meant to be the second.
Airachnid would settle for the first place only. Even if it meant to be the first of just one.

4. Last

If given a choice, returning to the decepticons would be the last thing she'd choose. However, when Breakdown and the stupid gauntlet took that choice away, joining the ranks was better than getting scrapped.

5. Fear

Airachnid enjoyed fear she brought to life. Like a mother, she nurtured and fed it until it flourished. It was the most sensual pleasure to watch the fear grow and consume her enemies from within.

6. Hope

When she initiated intimacy with the warlord, she hoped for two things: for Megatron to be the right kind of 'facing partner for her deep desires and for them sharing a berth to strengthen her position in his army. Neither came true.

7. Drop

She was well aware of her own beauty - she enjoyed Megatron's gaze following the movements of her glossa as she liked tiny drops of energon off her long talons.

8. World

With a hive of insecticons to back her up she could take on the world!

9. Deep

Airachnid's deep contralto sounded inside insecticons processors. There was no way they could disobey it.

10. High

Some got high on high-grade en, others on their own victories - her drug of choice had been screams and begging.

11. Fly
... or you could take a human, bring them up to the upper part of the atmosphere and then drop them down... wanna bet, how long they'll scream?

12. Fall

After Soundwave humiliated her in front of everyone, Airachnid swore that should she fall, she'd take the navy spy down with her.

13. Shout

Shout wasn't good enough - for she wanted screams - but it was a start alright.

14. Silence

Soundwave may have thought his silence would protect him, but she knew for sure: silence never lasts. You just need to push a little harder, to bend a little further and it will crackle like a cocoon and let out an exotic butterfly of terror.

15. Follow

Megatron was silly if he thought she followed his lead because of some nonsense loyalty.

16. Lead

Megatron could be a decent leader, she'd give him that. She just thought herself to be better.

17. Enemy

She was keeping tracks. The list of enemies to deal with was getting constantly updated. And though Soundwave had never been the first on that least, he never was out of the top ten either.

18. Friend

She didn't need friends. An army of servants would be more befitting.

19. Life

Only through pain could you know you were truly alive. Airachnid wasn't covetous - she was equally eager to receive and grant it.

20. Death

She had no fear for death - everyone dies eventually. But her death had to be painful, dramatic, spectacular!
